The course takes up the basic overview of the history of modern architecture and focuses on so far neglected and little known topic of the development of modern architecture in the region of Northwest Bohemia, which is complicated by the national aspects, insufficient archive sources, as well as by neglected condition or even destruction of a number of buildings. The programme is primarily targeted on development of architecture in the first half of 20th century (secession, modernism, decorativism, functionalism, regionalism, German "domestic style") being for the first time compiled in a monograph by the tutor of this course. However, attention is also given to large and mostly negative urban and construction interventions in the second half of 20th century.
